Waves

I was on the Shetlands Islands for a week. There I recorded the sound of waves in some places. Everything comes from the west side of Mainland. Birds were also heard on the recordings, most of them are arctic terns that keeps going on. Here are a sandy beach. The waves are small but sounds nice and calm But you can hear a rumble in the background it's the sound from the waves beating the rocks a couple of hundred meters from the beach.
